Live production catalog

Compare AI video models on the same shot.

Seedance, Kling, Sora, Veo, Wan, Grok and Hailuo all read motion differently. This 17-model comparison rail uses one real Saga brief, with the accepted settings and actual example cost visible. The live composer catalog can include additional models before a matching comparison render is published.

The 17-model comparison set.

Seedance 2.0 and Fast, Seedance 1.5 Pro, Sora 2 Pro, Kling 3 Pro, Standard and O1, Veo 3.1, Fast and Lite, HappyHorse 1.1 and 1.0, Wan 2.7 and 2.6, Grok Imagine and 1.5, and Hailuo 2.3.

Published 27 July 2026. Each clip is labeled with its actual model, accepted settings and recorded example cost. Current quotes can differ. Open a clip to watch the full result; selected examples also show the exact prompt. Reduced-motion and data-saver visitors see the model posters without autoplay.

Comparison method

One frame. One direction.

The point is useful casting, not declaring one universal winner. Minimum accepted duration and resolution differ by provider, so those settings stay visible on every card.

Shared motocross source frame used for the Saga video model comparison

A motocross rider accelerates through a sculpted desert canyon at golden hour.
Sand spray, a low chase camera, natural motion, crisp rider and bike, warm rock detail, no text, no logos. Sora 2 Pro receives the same words without the source frame because its route is text-only.

Questions

Choosing an AI video model.

Which AI video model is best?

There is no universal winner. Seedance, Kling, Sora, Veo, Wan, Grok and Hailuo respond differently to motion, framing and reference images. Compare the same brief above, then choose for the shot rather than the model leaderboard.

Are these vendor demo videos?

No. Every comparison video on this page was rendered through Saga from the same prompt and source image, except Sora 2 Pro, whose route is text-only.

How much does each model cost?

Cost depends on model, duration, resolution and audio. The cards show the settled example cost, while the live pricing calculator estimates a complete project at current rates.

Can I generate with the model I choose?

Yes. Use the action on any comparison card to open that model in Saga Studio AI, then enter a prompt or add a supported reference image.
